摘要：

Cryptococcus gattii is an underrecognized cause of meningitis, especially in nonendemic regions. This report details C gattii disease progression from admission to autopsy in an otherwise healthy 40-year-old male in Texas. It brings awareness to an often unsuspected organism that can cause severe infection requiring early recognition and treatment in immunocompetent individuals.
